Christine O'Donnell promotes memoir

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell emailed supporters Tuesday to tout her forthcoming memoir, which she dubbed "the real, raw story of my life," according to CNN.

The book, titled is "Troublemaker: Let's Do What It Takes to Make America Great Again," due out Aug. 16 from St. Martin's Press.

O'Donnell, a Tea Party-backed underdog who seized Delaware's GOP Senate nomination only to lose the general election to Democrat Chris Coons, told her subscribers to her Christine PAC's email list that the 2010 elections were "the start of the Second American Revolution," CNN reported.

She also said she hopes to inspire "real" people to engage in politics.

St. Martin's Press describes the book this way: "Troublemaker is about where O'Donnell comes from-the Philadelphia suburbs with five kids to a room-and what she weathered in the 2010 election. But the core of the book is a clear, straightforward discussion of an America that yearns to embrace freedom and opportunity through personal responsibility, and how it is hamstrung and stymied by excessive regulation, taxation, and the sanctimony of a 'nanny state.' And Troublemaker will deliver an important, rousing message about what we do with the quiet anger in America today: where we can go, and how strong we can be, from here. Warning readers that challenging the status quo makes the political establishment push back, O'Donnell wants to build a movement that will continue to goad it."
